I think you better to start the game over, since it's abnormal when you see alien-supplies flying around without alien-bases built. I guess it was a sudden shock to your computer by a hidden-alien behind your windows at the moment you were playing the game. :D
And it's not good if you don't defend the earth with efforts because aliens dominate the nations by XVI in that way.

Needless to say why the globe still remains split off when an open alien attack happened, and Phalanx still needs funding. At least in original X-Com the aliens did it secretly. TFTD is a ph-ishing game IMO.

i give up. i played for a year (in game) without intercepting scouts and supply ships. i did missions only when i was close losing the game. nothing happens, no alien base. and then, really nothing happens. no more ufos are sighted. earth is safe again  ???

thanks for the hints, maybe i play the game in a year or two again and then finish it correctly...

I have the same problem in my game. Probably the dead loop tctranslation described. Shot down too many with SAM sites, I guess.

I let the aliens do their thing for a month, and removed some SAM sites.
Right after I removed a SAM site, Jun 08, 2085,
a new research proposal "The Alien Strategy" popped up.
Hopefully that's where I was stuck.

As my relations with the various factions declined, the tech 'The Enemy on Earth' finally appeared. I completed that tech, and stunned several aliens since then. But the officially reported 'captures' don't add to my total in the 'Containment' screen. The tech tree tool provided indicates a need another autopsy to advance. Perhaps if I keep playing, and let some of the Alliances favor drop further, another race will show up besides the 4 I've seen for another autopsy to be done?

(Database reference: rs_alien_xvi_event)

I guess could figure this out by looking at the code, but hoping for the lazyman approach)

I think he's trying to bump the thread till someone answers his question. I would, but unfortunately don't have the necessary knowledge.

OffT: Or he made a mistake as it looks like he wanted to fix the ")" mark in the end of "but hoping for the lazyman approach)" with a normal "." but pressed the wrong button.

I rejoice that I've never made this while I were a cannon fodder. However, it's not unusual IMO.
